As a Senior Software Engineer at Vitesse, I work with a team of engineers to design and deliver scalable fintech solutions that enable high-value global payments. I utilise the .NET platform to build reliable services, improve performance, and develop features suited to a fast-paced environment. I have over 8 years of professional experience in software engineering, having previously worked at ASOS, where I delivered e-commerce systems supporting millions of customers. I graduated with a First Class Honours Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Cardiff University, gaining a strong foundation in programming, data structures, algorithms, and software design. I’m passionate about learning new technologies, solving real-world problems, and collaborating with other engineers to build high-quality software.
